Happy Monday! And for once, it really is a happy Monday for me as it's Half Term! Cue a lazy morning hanging around in my PJs with a cuppa catching up with the world at my own pace - I love it!

Today I'm sharing a card I've made for a new challenge I've set as part of a group of ladies called the Papertrey Peeps. We're a group of PTI fans who fancied setting a few challenges and sharing the creations and inspiration!

For my challenge I decided to challenge people to use packaging as inspiration for their colour combos. Sounds kinda strange but I was totally inspired by my muesli the other day which spurred me to check out the Dorset Cereals' website and get totally inspired!

For my example I picked this scrummy porridge:

So I stuck to a colour combo of Dark Chocolate, New Leaf, Spring Moss, Pure Poppy and White for my card:

The DP was created by using the tree from my Holiday Tree set. Now who says you can only use that set for Christmas creations?! I like how it reflects the design on the packaging too!

This is grrrrrrrrreat, sorry had to get a breakfast cereal pun in LOL! Seriously how amazing is this for inspiration and I had hidden this set away for the winter - out it gets for a little Aimes inspirational inkly love :D

Hi Aimes and Happy Monday! Looks like this is a FUN challenge! Love your card--such great colors. We were out of town all weekend so i am kind of resting up from that but hope to get started on the challenge soon. Have a good one!!

This is a great challenge Aimes - I have loved the Dorset cereal packets for ages and how clever to use that tree stamp - fab. You know I'm going to be rummaging through my kitchen cupboards all night now!!Gorgeous card hun.

OMG Aimes, am I the last to find out about your new site....lol Perhaps I haven't been blog hopping as much as I should, don't know how I missed that one but I'm on to it now:) Love the card it's fab, great colours too!
